June 28 (Bloomberg) -- Investcorp, a Bahrain-based private
equity firm, said its Skrill unit agreed to buy paysafecard.com
Wertkarten AG, an Austrian provider of prepaid vouchers that
enable consumers to shop online, for as much as 140 million
euros ($174 million).

The combined group will have more than 27 million end-users, almost 130,000 merchant customers and over 100 different
payment options in more than 40 currencies, Investcorp said in a
statement on its website today.

The acquisition of paysafecard.com Wertkarten and the
indirect acquisition of paysafecard.com Wertkarten Vertriebs
GmbH and Prepaid Services Co. Ltd. is subject to regulatory
approvals, it said.
